I'm a bit unusual in all this because, although there are some friends are convinced I must have blue & white blood, I haven't had a season ticket since before the pandemic.
Back in those days, I lived over Rochdale way and because I haven't driven a car since I took early retirement 15 years ago, every home game necessitated me leaving home at 11.15 to be sure of getting by bus to Ewood before the kick-off and I didn't usually get home till 7.15. I'm not saying I moved back to Blackburn simply to reduce my travelling time to Ewood but it was certainly a fortunate spin-off from that decision!
And I'm in the position of being able to - or choosing to - afford a season ticket. And this week's appointments at Ewood have certainly put more of a spring in my step than has been there for at least the last three seasons. To me, it felt like a new day had dawned at Ewood.
You (I!) would have thought that such a step change would have been marked by the Board jumping on the Jon Dahl Tomasson bandwagon and pushing hard to reconnect with fans who've been alienated as much by the dourness of the public face of the old regime as anything else. But no; same old Rovers.
I [u]will[/u] be getting a season ticket, but I'm holding fire to see if the Board is shamed by Sharpe's article in the Telegraph quoted earlier in this thread into being proactive for once in their lives. And, to mix my metaphors, while I'm holding fire on buying a season ticket, I'm not holding my breath for the Board making the most of JDT's appointment.
